Took the truck out for the first time after the SAS. I was very impressed it did better than I expected it to. I got to play in rocks, snow, mud, and some clear cuts. I have some vids but my phone wont send then to the net. Well here is some pics.

I am jealous...that thing looks like a damn spider! Very cool!
 
Where do you go wheelin? I live real close to you
 
what do you have for springs in the front? thats a badass setup
 
Sick truck boss! Looks good.

To get those videos that we all want to see. Haha. Send them like you are sending a video message or whatever but instead of sending them to a phone number, send them to your email address. Then, when you get the email, save the file and go to http://www.mediaconverter.org/. From there you can upload the video and convert it to any format of video you want. Now lets see them! Haha! Man, those pictures make me want to go to Washington. Beautiful area you have to wheel!

That was up Mill Creek, went 60miles on logging roads that day and came out in Vader WA. Not sure if you know the area or not. Your more than welcome to come up wheelin.

MusicManiac: It only gives me the option to bluetooth it, it wont send in a message thats how i did it on my old phone. Guess I just need to buy a video camera. And I used to live in Surprise, I lived right off of 134th and Bell.

kevinsranger: They are air shocks, there are no springs, just compressed nitrogen, im running 375psi right now. I dont know what that translates to spring rate wise. But its pretty much the spring and shock in one, like a motorcycle fork, only instead of a spring inside it uses the compressed nitrogen.

Gotcha man. That is wierd!

And cool about living in Surprise. I am actually on Bell and Reems (about 155th Ave.) so not too far at all from your old place. My brother-in-law and his family are actually at 137th and Bell. Small world huh!
 
Awesome pictures. That first one looks like some nasty stuff and it also looks like a cliff right behind you. Glad to hear the SAS worked out well. I was also curious about the lack of springs. Hadn't heard of nitrogen shocks before that could that, that's pretty cool.
 
Thanks for the comments everyone.

They were only $500 shipped for the pair. Then it is $20 a shock to fill them. Seams like alot but once you consider a good set of springs and shocks your getting close. And the only thing you have to do it change ride hieght or anything is adjust the pressure or oil level, vs. buying new springs. The only downfall is you have to build shock hoops and whatnot but i have a tubing bender so it was no big deal.
 
Can you post some pics of the front susp. I would like to see how you put it all together. Thanks Mark72. Or PM them. By the way THATS COOL.
